My Endless Life.

Chapter 5: Attack and Defense in the Trench

No matter what happened yesterday, the sun will rise as usual the next day.

The war is still going on, and Li Qi has to lead his team to the battlefield.

But today, Farol was a little different.

Their attack today is more fierce than yesterday...even more fierce than usual!
The attack was so fierce that the enemy had already reached the trench where Li Qi and his men were!
Therefore, today's battle is a defensive one.

"Have the Farol people gone crazy?!"

Genero, holding a special shield and standing in a corner, complained while gritting his teeth as he watched the surging enemies.

Compared with yesterday, Farol's attack today was more frenzied, and they sent out more people, as if they were going to fight to the death, and they rushed towards this side desperately.

No wonder Genero complained.

Li Qi swung down the dagger in his hand, cut off the hand of an enemy who broke into the trench, raised his hand and cut the man's throat, then turned to Genero and said:
"Less complaining, more doing."

"Captain!! The left side defense has been breached!"

While fighting with the enemy, Rick, wearing a helmet on his head, suddenly shouted to Li Qi.

Li Qi was slightly startled and turned to look at the left side of the defense line.

Sure enough, in the trench over there, the enemies were pouring in like dumplings, and it seemed that the defense had indeed been broken through.

Li Qi remembered that, although there were no particularly powerful people on the left side of the defense, there should be two tactical-level magicians.

How could it be broken through so quickly?

Did the enemy deploy an ace, or... did they make a mistake in defense?

Anyway, no matter which side it was, Li Qi was not surprised.

After all, the offensive and defensive battles in this world are very immature. Whether it is offense or defense, it is more a test of luck than a test of tactics.

Many times, a mistake or an idea from the enemy may lead to the loss of the defense line.

While thinking in his mind, Li Qi's hands kept moving.

He once again dealt with two enemy soldiers who were bayoneting him, then turned to Rick and asked:
"Where's the captain's order!?"

The enemy has already broken into the trench, and instructions are needed whether to continue fighting or retreat.

Rick is the communications soldier in the team, and he is responsible for delivering messages from above.

Li Qi asked Rick, hoping to hear the information he wanted from him.

That is to retreat.

But unfortunately, Rick gave an answer that did not meet Li Qi's expectations:
"Die... defend to the death!"

"..."

Defend to the death?

Li Qi stepped on the enemy's corpses, poked his head slightly out of the trench, and looked towards the trench behind.

After seeing the personnel mobilized from the rear and the enemy personnel launching the offensive, Li Qi vaguely guessed something.

The enemy's inexplicable offensive and the decision to sacrifice frontline soldiers in order to hold the Meen Line both represent the possibility of some unexpected changes in the war between the two countries.

Li Qi's heart was beating violently.

He had a guess, but he couldn't be sure.

But no matter what the guess is, the most important thing now is to find a way to survive.

Seeing that the number of enemies was increasing, Li Qi made a decision.

"Gnero! Rick! Follow me!!"

Seeing the enemy rushing towards them, Li Qi shouted to his team members.

"Yes!!"

The two men did not refuse. One of them held up a shield and the other held a gun and followed Li Qi.

Instead of heading towards the easier to defend right side of the defense line, they rushed towards the already lost left side of the defense line!
On the left line of defense, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Farol, after gaining the upper hand, continued to launch an offensive into the trench, trying to tear a gap in the defense and attack the rear from inside the trench.

When Li Qi arrived here, the soldiers on the left line of defense had turned from friendly soldiers to enemy soldiers.

Occasionally, two of our soldiers fired a few shots, but were suppressed by the enemy's bullets. Then it was a real hand-to-hand fight.

Firearms in this world are still in their infancy. Although bolt-action rifles have been developed, they are of the old-fashioned type that require reloading each time a bullet is fired.

Therefore, when attacking inside the trenches, the practicality of the bolt-action rifle is greatly reduced.

Especially when soldiers from both sides come into direct contact, instead of aiming with guns, it is better to draw out knives and fight head-on.

When Li Qi arrived here, the intensity of gunfire was much lower, but the sound of swords clashing was more frequent.

And in this sound, Li Qi also heard a rough and wild laugh:

"Hahahaha!! Go to hell! You bastards of Uno!"

Looking towards the source of the wild laughter, Li Qi saw a burly man who was nearly two meters tall and holding a huge axe in his hand.

He was wearing sturdy armor and an old-fashioned knight's helmet on his head.

The huge axe in his hand was like a lifted boulder. Even if one did not use the blade to chop someone, just being hit by the surface would crush the person to death.

Although Li Qi did not recognize this knight-like burly man, he recognized the axe.

In other words, on this battlefield, there is only one person who can wield this axe.

[Crazy Axe] Olivier!

No wonder the left side of the defense line was breached so quickly. After all, this guy is different from Li Qi's cheating title-level guy. He is a real title-level guy.

"Gnero! Go over there!"

Seeing Crazy Axe, Li Qi hesitated for just a second, then pointed in that direction and gave orders to Genero.

Genero, holding the shield, was startled for a moment. He glanced at the enemy in front of him, tightly grasped the shield handle with his right hand, and responded loudly:
"Yes!!!"

There are a lot of enemies out there, and charging straight at them like this is simply seeking death.

But Genero is a qualified soldier and he will obey the orders of his superiors.

Wherever Li Qi tells him to go, he will go there!
Genero rushed forward with his shield raised, and the enemy's swords chopped on his raised shield.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

The blades and bullets hit Genero's shield. Genero's muscles in his hands were tensed, and he rushed forward against the blades and bullets of these people, and he did not fall down during the process.

Genero knew that he could not fall.

Because if you stand, you still have a chance to survive, but if you fall down, you will definitely die!
Moreover, Genero knew very well that those who attacked him would not survive long.

Sure enough, under the shield, Rick took out a gun, replaced the bullet and pulled the trigger. The bullet accurately penetrated the forehead of the person closest to Genero.

Then there was a flash of a knife.

Li Qi was like a poisonous snake poking out from under a shield, or like a wolf that had been crawling for a long time, revealing his sharp fangs and tearing the prey in front of him fiercely!
His figure moved among the enemies like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, three or four people fell to the ground.

Whenever the enemy pointed a gun at him, he would rely on his short body to crawl under the shield to avoid the enemy's attack.

Genero's shield was specially made by the Ligitto people in order to provide himself with a safe hiding place on the battlefield.

Without Genero and his shield, Li Qi would not have dared to go so deep into the enemy camp.

Relying on the sturdiness of Genero's shield and his own strength comparable to that of a title-level warrior, Li Qi rushed into the enemy camp as if he were in an empty space, charging through the crowd, heading straight for his target, madly attacking Olivier with the axe!

"Huh? Where did this little brat come from?"

Kuang Axe was pinching a man's head and was about to crush it, but when he turned around, he saw Li Qi rushing towards him.

Compared with the nearly two-meter-tall Kuang Axe, the thin Li Qi is almost like a child.

Seeing this little devil rushing towards him recklessly, Kuang Axe guessed something.

The other side wanted to carry out a decapitation operation and get rid of him first, who was the biggest threat on the battlefield.

With a raised corner of his mouth, the smile on Kuang Axe's face revealed a bit of ferocity.

He swung the axe in his hand and raised it high.

"This is not the place for you to play games, kid!!"

As he shouted, the axe blade chopped down on Li Qi's head without mercy!
